Ummy and Sapph's Shop

Greetings! Welcome to our corner of the web. Who are we? We're nuts.

Anyway, welcome to Ummy and SapphWolf's little art shop.

Yeah, that's all you get. Why? Because it's late, and I can't think of any good introductions.

Important Things To Know
Pay attention. This will be on the test.

Thread Rules

1. Play nice. With the artists, the customers, and everyone in here.

2. Do not bug Sapph and Ummy or beg us for free art or otherwise annoy us. A full list means a full list.

3. We are not machines. We're people, both in college, with real lives. We will work on commissions when we can, and feel free to discuss status with us, but please give us time to get your picture done.

4. You are allowed ONE spot on the wait list. In other words, you cannot come in and reserve all of the spots. After your picture is finished, you may rerequest. (Note: Exceptions may be made on an individual basis, such as paying with one expensive item for multiple commissions. This is up to the artist's discretion. We want to give everyone a chance to buy art.)

5. Respect our artistic interpretation, especially if no reference picture is provided. Note that the less info you give us, the more artistic license we have. No complaining if all you say is that you want a "blonde girl" and we give you a long, curly haired blonde when you wanted a short, straight-haired blonde. If something needs changing, please work it out in a civilized manner with your artist. If something is drastically wrong, you may negotiate a redrawing, but it must be a major error.

6. Artists have the right to refuse any request. This could be because we felt your request was too complicated, cannot draw in the style you want, or maybe we just don't have a lot of time right now. Do not take it personally. You may make a new request if you'd like.

Payment Rules

*note* Payment methods are negotiable. This is the most common method. Please discuss with your artist if you would like to work out another method.

1. Commissioner starts a trade with 100% of the price. Artist will confirm, and begin working on the piece. When piece is completed, artist will send the art and commissioner will complete the trade afterwards.

2. Item offers are evaluated individually. Generally, store, rare, and uncommon items are not accepted, though a few of the more expensive ones may be (IE fairy wings). Donation letters and items are valued at mid Gen/Lucky Devil as of the day you make your request. Always check with the artist before assuming anything.

3. Pricing may change in the future, depending on demand and our availability. If you have been approved and placed on a waitlist, and prices rise, you will only be required to pay what you originally agreed upon. If prices fall, you may receive the picture at the lower price.

4. Failure to pay means blacklisting for all of the artists, and public humiliation.

5. Tipping is not required, but greatly appreciated if the artist is speedy, your commission is complicated, or you feel the artist did an exceptional job. Remember, artists are drawing for you for FAKE message board gold.

How To Order
Please fill out the following and post it in this thread.

SohmaKyo
Is a mule. And yes, a Fruits Basket character (even though Ummy likes Momiji better, but Sapph made the mule so he got to name it). All of the artists have access to the account, so you CAN contact us by PM to SohmaKyo, but it would be better to PM the artist individually. And for goodness sakes, don't PM the mule or the artists asking for donations.

Ummy's Place
Fear the fangirl.

Ummy is busy.

But I'm still here. Working on pics and such. Please be patient. ^_^.

Ummy is a full time student who now has a full time job as an assistant manager for a store in the mall. Expect AT LEAST a 2 week wait. I will do my best to get done quickly, but Gaia is not the highest of my priorities at the moment. If you are concerned, you can always PM me, but please understand that I have school and work and have to pay rent and bills.

Realistic - Pencil
Colored Realistic - CG
Avatars, Original Characters, and Fanart (with some restrictions)

Non-chibi Anime Style
Really muscular people
Complicated Backgrounds (backgrounds are always at my discretion, if you are concerned, we can work something out)

Ummy Accepts Items
Donation items accepted at Mid-high Lucky Devil. Occasionally they will be accepted higher if I note that LD is grossly off from current selling price.
No Rares/Uncommons except Nightmare and Angelic Headbands.
Most store items will be turned down. Fairy Wings are accepted at 35K. Kimonos, gowns, or other expensive items may be evaluated on an offer-by-offer basis.
Multiple or more complex commissions may be negotiated for older, expensive donation items. This will be dependent on Ummy's availability and the complexity of the commission.

Ummy Negotiates
Feel free to make offers, even if the items fall short of my usual pricing. There are some items I may be searching for and may thus temporarily value higher than usual.
Currently Seeking: Devil Tail, Gaia Tshirts, Both Labcoats, October 04 items/letters, and many donation items from 2005.

Ummy's Current Quest
A devil tail was a goal of mine before my hiatus, but it has risen considerably since then, so it may not be possible anymore.

Ummy's Wait List
1. Kamiki (realism cg)
ALL OTHER COMMISSIONS are CLOSED, unless I privately decide to draw for you, in which case, I will contact you.

Thanks everyone!
